Lavochkin La-5F

12.6k Aviation  7.1 years ago

After about 2 weeks of work, viola: the La-5f! Argurable one of my best planes, and one of the best La-5s on the site.

History:

The Lavochkin La-5 was a WWII Soviet fighter plane derived from the earlier LaGG-3 plane. It featured an improvement of the engine with a Shvetsov ASh-82 Radial. The La-5f was a continuation of this improvement, and included an updated ASh engine able to be in overdrive constantly. Also, the plane received bulletproof glass in a bubble canopy along with the removal of pilot seat armor to increase pilot visability. armnament of the La-5f consisted of two ShVAK 20 mm cannons mounted in the nose.

controls:

-Flaps: Trim down

stats:

-guns: 340 rounds total, 40 sec reload, 750 muzzle velocity, 12.5 rounds per second (from warthunder wiki)
-top speed 401 mph (whatever i got as close as i can without knowing what the heck engine power vs max rpm does)
-Soviet monochrome camo (i can post versions with other camos if you guys want, maybe in an update???)

Thanks for checking out my plane!
ENJOY

    @BACconcordepilot @Blue0Bull We play this game for fun, not for upvotes. The system is weird, some things like this get ignored while stuff like Pickle Rick gets to the top.
